Study Notes
Absorption
- In Metal Additive Manufacturing, absorption refers to one material (absorbate) being retained by another material (absorbent).
- This process can lead to defects like porosity and keyholes due to gas absorption during the molten phase of the metal.
AM Guidelines and Standards
- The control of hazards posed by combustible materials has been a focus in recent decades.
- Organizations like ATEX and ISO (specifically ISO 60079) have implemented regulations regarding flammable materials.
Electron Beam
- In addition to laser beams, electron beams (EB or EBM) are also employed as a common heat source in thermal-based metal powder bed additive manufacturing technologies.
Flowability
- Flowability is a characteristic that describes the ability of fluids and loose particulate solids to move through flow.
Fourier’s Law
- It quantifies heat transfer processes by stating that the time rate of heat transfer through a material is proportional to the negative gradient in temperature and to the area at right angles to that gradient, through which the heat flows.
- This relationship is often expressed in differential form.
Functionally Graded Lattices
- These are structures designed with varying porosity distributions by adjusting the volume fractions of each unit cell within the 3D design domain.
Graded Lattice
- Utilizes repeatable unit cells in a 3D framework, utilizing implicit surfaces derived from triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS). Examples of these include Diamond, Gyroid, and Primitive.
Hatch Spacing/Hatching Distance/ Scan Spacing
- It represents the separation between two consecutive laser beams.
Heating Depth Ratio (HDR)
- This dimensionless process parameter is calculated as the ratio of heat depth to layer thickness.
- The formula for HDR is: HDR = (4𝛼/𝑣)* (𝑑/𝑙) where 𝛼 is the heat transfer coefficient, 𝑙 is the length of the material, 𝑑 is the spot diameter, and 𝑣 is the scan velocity.
Image Segmentation
- This method involves breaking down a digital image into subgroups (image segments) to simplify further processing or analysis.
- The process involves assigning labels to pixels, where pixels belonging to the same category share a common label.
Intergranular Cracking
- Cracking occurs at grain boundaries during the solidification process.
- It arises due to higher tensile stresses in the solidifying and cooling material compared to the strength of the solidified metal.
- This type of cracking is exacerbated by increased thermal power or substrate thickness.
Intrinsic
- Intrinsic parameters are related to the substrate and powder properties such as absorptivity, thermal conductivity, heat capacity, thermal diffusivity, and substrate geometry.
Keyhole
- Keyhole pores are formed when vapor bubbles become trapped within the melt pool. This typically occurs at higher energy densities.
- Lack of fusion pores is attributed to unmelted regions due to lower energy density.
